On this day, the first thing Tang Guoqiang, secretary of the county party committee, did after getting up in the morning was to go to the county party committee guest house to arrange breakfast for the superior leaders. Come to think of it, these leaders are all things he usually can't touch if he wants to. can have the opportunity to serve, which can only show that he Tang Guoqiang has prosperous official fortunes and has the hope of progress. After breakfast, Team Leader Zhang of the Central Civilization Office was going to other areas of Yangtze River Province to inspect because of his schedule, and Minister Liu of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee naturally accompanied him, leaving only Gu Songlin in Changjia.

In the morning, Tang Guoqiang convened the members of the county party committee and the county government to hold a report meeting on Changjia's work to report to Secretary Gu on the recent achievements in Changjia County's work and economic construction. Secretary Gu had already listened to Tang Guoqiang's separate report last night, and learned that Tang Guoqiang's work situation in Changjia had been opened, and his control over the Standing Committee had been greatly enhanced, especially after Ma Tiancheng, executive deputy head of the county government, moved closer to him, Tang Guoqiang not only said nothing to the county party committee, but also had a direct channel for the government's work to the end, and could not help but express his satisfaction and encouraged him to seize the opportunity and lead the team members to work together to change Chang Jia's face as soon as possible.

At the report meeting, Secretary Gu of course strongly supported Tang Guoqiang, pointing out that with the strong leadership of the county party committee, I believe that Changjia's economy will soon embark on the road of rapid development. He called on the Changjia County Party Committee and the county government to give top priority to solving the problems of people's livelihood, earnestly safeguard the interests of the people, improve the people's living standards, and maintain the excellent situation of stability and unity. At the meeting, Ye Zhiran, deputy head of Mashi Township, Zhang Liren, director of the police station, and Liu Bing, a police officer, praised them, and pointed out that it is precisely because of these young, talented and ethical grassroots cadres that we can ensure that the construction of Changjia can make great strides forward and that the party's correct leadership can be guaranteed.

After the meeting, the leaders of the county party committee and the county government had lunch with Secretary Gu. After the meal, Tang Guoqiang courteously asked Secretary Gu to take a lunch break in the guest house. About half an hour later, I received a call from the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Lin Feng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee to Changjia from Jianan. He hurriedly reported to Secretary Gu, asked Secretary Gu to continue to rest in the guest house, and he rushed to the county boundary with all the members of Chang Jia's three sets of teams to greet him.

After receiving the leaders at the county border, the convoy converged and drove towards the county seat. Wu Zhongxin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Zhou Hongwei, Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Lin Feng, Secretary of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee, Qiao Changfeng, Propaganda Minister of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee, and Wu Shengping, Director of the Jianan City Public Security Bureau, gathered in addition to reporters from all walks of life in the province and city.

The convoy drove directly to the county central hospital, and after meeting Gu Songlin who came from the guest house at the entrance of the hospital, Tang Guoqiang led the way directly to Ye Zhiran's ward.

At the door of the ward, the group happened to meet Zhang Hengliang and Ye Lao. In Jianan, although there was little contact between the government and the army, Lin Feng and Gu Songlin had met with Zhang Hengliang and knew each other. Lin Feng was slightly surprised and held Zhang Hengliang's hand and asked, "Senior Master Zhang, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Hengliang said with a smile: "I'm here to see Xiaoye, Secretary Lin, the grassroots cadre selection system of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee has done a good job, and with such a good comrade as Xiaoye, Jianan has a great future for development." After speaking, he shook hands with Gu Songlin.

Lin Feng introduced to the leaders of the provincial party committee: "Minister Wu and Director Zhou, this is Division Commander Zhang of the NJ Military Region Group Army. He also introduced to Zhang Hengliang: "Master Zhang, this is Minister Wu of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and Director Zhou of the Provincial Public Security Department. ”

Before the introduction was finished, he saw Director Zhou take a step forward and salute Ye Lao, and held Ye Lao's hand affectionately and said, "Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

This salute shocked Minister Wu, Secretary Lin, Secretary Gu, Tang Guoqiang and others, including Ye Zhiran, Ye Lao was stunned, and guessed: "What is his identity?" ”

Ye Lao shook Zhou Hongwei's hand without moving, and said, "Xiao Zhou is good, I heard Secretary Liu say about your situation, and you are still impressive when you transfer to work in the local area, and you will do a good job." After a pause, he said with a smile: "I came to Ye Zhiran with Hengliang today, and he is my junior." ”

The secretary Liu mentioned by Ye Lao refers to Liu Yang, deputy secretary of the Yangtze River Provincial Party Committee, who is also a cadre who was transferred from the army in the past.

Only then did Zhou Hongwei step forward and take Zhang Hengliang's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have time to gather in the province, and I haven't met for some days." ”

He and Zhang Hengliang had previously partnered in the same unit, and when Zhang Hengliang was the deputy division commander, he was the deputy political commissar of the division.

Zhang Hengliang smiled: "Okay, remember to call me when you pass by Jianan." He politely shook hands with Minister Wu and others one by one.

Ye Lao was arrogant, and he retired from the army, and he was not familiar with people in the political circles, so he didn't stay long, nodded indifferently to Minister Wu and others, and took Zhang Hengliang Shi Ran out of the ward.

Minister Wu had already guessed Ye Lao's identity at this time, but there were many people here, and he was not in a hurry to ask Zhou Hongwei for verification, so he came to Ye Zhiran's bed under the guidance of Tang Guoqiang.

Everyone has a greater interest in this "Ye Lao's junior".

Tang Guoqiang introduced the leaders who came to express his condolences one by one in front of Ye Zhiran's bed, whether it was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, a deputy director of the Provincial Department, a secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, or the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, for cadres of Ye Zhiran's level, they were all high-ranking officials who were out of reach, and they could affect his future with one sentence. Therefore, regardless of their positions, he treated them all with extreme respect.

Wu Zhongxin, director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, had already listened to the report of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee before he came, and he already had a trace of respect for Ye Zhiran, a weak township government cadre, who could lead people to kill the "two Lis"; After meeting Ye Lao and Zhang Hengliang at the door of the ward, he became a little more mysterious to him; At this moment, seeing that Ye Zhiran was talking and knowledgeable, especially in front of so many high-ranking officials, he was able to maintain a calm and humble attitude, and he was outstanding, and he couldn't help but turn his head to Lin Feng and Gu Songlin and said: "Secretary Lin, Secretary Gu, Chang Jia's comrades are very good, young, capable, and energetic, which shows that there are successors to our cause." ”

This is quite a high evaluation, almost the meaning of saying "it's time to promote" in front of you. As soon as these words came out, the people of the Changjia County Party Committee and the county government were full of happy smiles on their faces. Didn't listen to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee? Chang Jia's comrades are very good! It's Chang Jia's comrade, not Ye Zhiran alone!

Lin Feng, Gu Songlin and the others nodded yes.

In fact, Lin Feng is also very satisfied with Ye Zhiran, Ye Zhiran has made Jianan and Chang Jia famous! He, the leader of the Jianan Municipal Party Committee, has a bright face. What's more, Comrade Xiao Ye is young, but his performance is very steady, and every time he speaks in front of the leaders of the provincial party committee and the news media, he always thinks clearly and is clearly organized, and always puts the achievements of the cadre team building of the municipal and county party committees in the forefront. This kind of young cadres who are capable, have ethics, and have a strong sense of the overall situation are worth cultivating! Therefore, after Minister Wu and Director Zhou finished speaking, he stepped forward and asked Ye Zhiran about his physical recovery. Then, Secretary Lin cordially encouraged Ye Zhiran to take care of his body in front of the camera of the TV reporter, devote himself to his work with greater enthusiasm, and strive for greater achievements. He praised the team of the Changjia County Party Committee, and finally, he took Ye's father and Ye's mother's hands and thanked them affectionately for raising an excellent son. Father Ye and Mother Ye had seen this kind of formation, and they were immediately moved to tears, holding the leader's hand with trembling hands, unable to say a complete sentence. hid Zhang Nianyue in the corner and stole Zhile.

When the leaders of the provincial and municipal party committees came up one by one to talk with Ye Zhiran for a few words, and the condolences came to an end, Tang Guoqiang asked the leaders for their opinions, and took them to continue to visit Zhang Liren, Liu Bing and others. A large group of people came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they all walked out, and the ward suddenly brightened up a lot.

Cheering up and saying so many words, Ye Zhiran was a little tired at this time, but he was still very excited. He realized that the leaders of the provincial and municipal party committees praised him, and this kind of appreciation was by no means general, it was an appreciation from the heart, Ye Zhiran felt that the road in front of him had been completely opened, he restrained his surging mood, and beckoned Nian Yue to him: "Nian Yue, when will Uncle Zhang and Auntie return to Jianan today?" ”

Zhang Nianyue said: "You should just leave, right?" Skipping dinner. "It means that you don't have dinner in Changjia and go back directly.

Ye Zhiran looked at Nian Yue's bright eyes with pity and said, "Then you go back once, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang will want to see you when they leave and talk to you." Otherwise, Uncle Zhang and Auntie will accuse you of being ignorant. ”

Nian Yue's face flushed slightly, and in Ye Zhiran's eyes, the rosé of her cheeks became more and more broken. She said sheepishly, "Then what if they force me to go back to Jianan?" ”

Ye Zhiran's heart warmed, he could feel her delicate and soft feelings, and couldn't help but reach out and gently hold her warm and delicate hand, and whispered: "Ye Lao will help you, go ahead." ”

Nian Yue thought about it, nodded, glanced at Ye's father and Ye's mother a little shyly, and said to Ye Zhiran: "Then I'll take Zhihui with me, and then send Zhihui back after dinner." ”

Ye Zhihui heard it and said happily: "Okay, let's go together." ”

Ye Zhiran shook his head helplessly, and when he saw that his sister was full of interest, he didn't stop it. He knew that Ye Lao's house was usually quite loose, no different from ordinary people, but the safety precautions were not bad at all, and there were three guards with guns on duty in turn. It's just that Ye Lao doesn't like to make a big deal and asks the guards to wear civilian clothes. Moreover, Ye Lao also likes to live this kind of ordinary people's ordinary life.

When Ye Zhihui and Nian Yue walked away, Ye Zhiran still couldn't help but say again: "Zhihui, you should respect Ye Lao." ”

Ye Zhihui didn't answer, but turned around and stuck out her tongue at him, despised Ye Zhiran a little, and said in her heart: Do you want to say this?
